Not every family plays nicely during the holidays as many of you may know. This song acknowledges that fact. The song also was how The Ramones announced to the world that they were breaking up. It is a sad song but, in true Ramones style, it still rocks! Enjoy...sort of. :)

In a world that has grown increasingly cold and authoritarian, I find it refreshing to listen to music that speaks of inclusion and kindness and love. Idles are my favourite band in the world right now and "Dancer" is their latest single. It is a banger of a song. Enjoy. :)

In today's post we are witnessing the birth of a new genre of music called Punk Rock.
